you didnt use worm castings because you dont like the npk of them?
arent worm castings like .5-.5-.5?
also your claim of "they're all the same seeds" is a pretty lame one because you are growing sam_skunkmans mixed seeds x haze/skunk1

like everyone already said the ones in the cups had more rootspace and therefore got bigger faster, and the foilage being heavy isn't what made the plant lean over, for one it has a thinner stem then the rest, but that still isnt what it was, it was just streatching for the light, all 3 are stretching for the light you can see it easily by looking from the side. ill show you pics when i upload em, i just started some seeds like a week ago, i started all in little jiffy sized pots, and i just transplanted the rest yesterday and one i did last week after it sprouted. you will see similar results, i also have 2 started in large containers the whole time.
At 2:42 in your super gay video you state you used dechlorinated tap water with the chloramides taken out.
But here, you tell people chloramides cannot be removed.

What gives Crush? Are you giving out bad grow lore?
Your video is an epic fail. Two different sized containers will yield two different sized plants.

What kind of B'Cuzz do you use? You still didn't answer.
(I think everyone reading this knows those plants aren't 2 weeks from seed so you talk about my credibility.. wow.)
Ok Here's an UPDATE!
Last night at 4am I transplanted the seeds to the manure mix.
12 hours later and the plants have TAKEN OFF!! WOW! NO JOKE! YOU GOTTA SEE IT GUYS!!!
Someone mentioned worm castings as .5 .5 .5. That depends on your region etc. Mine is 1.77, 0.28, 0.5 or something like that. It's some weird number. .5 .5 .5 or in that LOW range is what you want.
If anyone is going to try the mix, I can't stress enough that you need to de-chlorinate your water. Never let the chloramines touch the soil!!
To dechlorinate your water, you would use a product like this:
A lot of these companies have patents on their products so they do NOT act the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some go after zinc and iron and such so you need to be careful with your brand selection. AmQuel is safe and what I am using - ClorAm-X. Seems to be working great so far. If none are available just use a generic product that claimes to get rid of Chloramine and Ammonia. Supposedly many brands don't 'work well'. I know that the two brands mentioned work and have been proven over the years.
The manure needs to be *COMPOSTED*. That's mandatory. If you can't find that, use general compost. Do not use a soil mix that contains compost.
If you have worm castings at .5 .5 .5 I guess you can use that, I'm just not recommending it because the vegetable people don't use it. They are very big on compost and manure. The cow is the best from what I understand because it has something to do with the cow having 4 stomachs.
You can add B1 or other snake oil like liquid karma with every feeding. But for God's sake please dechlorinate your water first.
I'd love to replace the peat moss with general compost, but the PH of the soil would be too high (I'm guessing). I don't have all the seeds to experiment with. They're expensive. I'm going to get some tomato seeds from the dollar store though to experiment with.

The "vegetable people" use lots of compost and manure because it's cheap and easy to buy bulk quantities for commercial growing,not because it's some secret magical soil recipe.
Also,any composted cow or sheep manure will have WAY more nitrogen than worm castings.

aaah no
give the cloramine a job. add some castings to the water no need for anything else
nigga i thought you said you was hard mode? all i see is a buncha gimmicks and bullshit. really, you went and bought some shit to remove chlorine from tap water? waiting 24 hours was too much work for you?
lemme help you out.
step 1, get some seeds.
step 2, put in dirt and moisten with tap water from the sink, nothing special, no floramite, and chloramine, and zim zam and floo flah, no magic fairy dust, just plain old water.
step 3, keep watered, not wet, just keep the soil from drying all the way and killing the roots.
step 4, when they get this big, 1-2 weeks from seed, transplant.
step 5, after transplant continue to water as normal ensuring roots don't dry out, but make sure you don't water too much.
the pot with all the perlite is this one week after being transplanted to a big pot after sprouting.

lol these vids are the shit after a few oil hits...keep em coming. 
chlorine goes away with time ,chloramines need to be neutralized. if you add something to let the cloromine do its job it goes away. or thats what smart people have told me
It is if you're crush.
Everyone close your ears because I am going to yell now...
THE DAMN THING LEANED OVER BECAUSE IT'S TOO FAR FROM THE LIGHT!!..
Oops, there I go spreading that grow lore around. And he decided not to use worm castings because the NPK ratio is too high relative to composted cow manure, he said so himself in his video. What a knob. These videos would be great though if you were doing a how to on how NOT to do things.
